So apparently, when dealing with Turkey, verbal gymnastics isnt only reserved for the Armenian Genocide. It took U.S. Ambassador to Turkey nominee John R. Bass over 2 minutes to agree with Sen. John McCain - at threat of a hold on his nomination - that Erdogans crackdown on YouTube and Twitter is a drift toward authoritarianism. And, even then, he didnt want to be on the record using the word authoritarianism in his response. He agreed that Turkey is drifting in that direction. Goodness gracious!
